We Must Not Ignore Swat and FATA

By Ali Yar Khan • Sep 8th, 2009 • Category: Politics • 2 Comments

With beguilers putting up different sorts of decoys and with urchins of old times mushrooming to prove their honesty, real issues have been pushed back. Sugar crisis, rental power plants, corruption stories in Islamabad and other issues are also there to haunt the nation along with the debate of Musharraf’s fate and 17th amendment.

More bigger issue than all of these is the war against terror. Operation Rah-e-Rast is yet to be declared successful as the sporadic battles still going on in some parts of the Malakand and we are getting to know on daily basis that terrorists are being killed or arrested and there are also some news of violence in some areas. Waziristan is smouldering as terrorists are once again aligning themselves after the death of Baitullah Mehsud. Operation is going on in the Bara and Khyber. Things are very hot and violent in these areas, but our media and people seem to have forgotten this issue.

Wana, Shakai, Azam Warsak and Angoor Adda – the border town between Pakistan and Afghanistan are all very volatile and terrorists are preparing to fully take over these areas. In these circumstances, government must bring all the tribes of these areas on the table and strike an accord to keep the terrorist out of these areas. Zalikhel, Tojikhel, Khojalkhel, Gangikhel, Sarkikhel, Mughalkhel, Khonikhel, Ekikhel and Sperkai tribes should be contacted and taken into confidence.

Media should also play it’s constructive role and keep the nation updated and alert about it.

  1. you r right. but u ve left the biggest matter. that’s KURRAM AGENCY where there is started a bloody WAR for last 3 years and no one asks who is dieing there. Tori has proved that they are the true Pakistani and the Real Muslims as they got together and made the Maloon Taliban out of there respective Areas. In tthis duration Hundreds of Tories murtyred. BUT NO ONE ASKS!……………. Media is calm, Govt is calm, in fact every one is CALM!…………. Why?…………………… Tori tribe faces to much problems, but no matter Our Mola has also faced so…………. We r hopefull as we have MOLA……. Who will appear and retaliate all we have faced…………….. Al-Ajal Ya MOLA ya ADRIKINI a.s……………………………………

  2. This govt has been failed to provide normal life in big cities of Pakistan.At this moment cities are facing worst load shedding and shortage of food items are highlighting in media on daily basis.
    So what should we expect for this govt as at this moment army is still controlling form buner to malam jaba and people are in curfew for almost 12 hrs and this process is continued for last 2 years.Army is doing its cleansing job and locals are helping each other to restore their normalcy here.ANP govt is still absent from the scene and still avoiding public areas and no serious rehabilitation work has been seeing in any area of malakand,
